The year is 3587. Conflict spans the stars as huge robot armies are locked in an enduring stalemate. In their bid for galactic supremacy, they call upon the most powerful group of mercenaries in the universe: the Awesomenauts!

Awesomenauts 2.9 was released last week. Full Patch notes are included below:

NEW Naut: Nibbs

Nibbs is part of the Starstorm DLC.

Nibbs is a dragon warrior in service to the Sisterhood of Coba. This demonic group was bound to the Omicron dimension who, as soon as the Starstorm ripped a hole in the continuum, started an invasion of conquest.

Right after going through the portal, Nibbs's ship landed on the space station. Scouting around, she mistook Gnaw's tail for a juicy piece of fruit. After he was bitten, the startled Gnaw led her right back to the Awesomenauts who managed to convince her to stay with a wide variety of exotic treats.

Orb of Omicron

Send out an orb to which you can teleport with a second press.

Fire breath

Hold your position and unleash your fiery breath on your foes.

Dragon frenzy

Strike with your claws. Each hit will give a stack of frenzy, increasing your attackspeed.

NEW premium skin: Battle Nibbs and the Hu-Zurian

For Graygrowl! Battle Nibbs is here! Clad in fiercesome armor, and with freshly-brushed fur, she pounces onto the battlefield with the most powerful Zurian in the Universe! The hunt for Skreeletor is on!

This is a paid DLC and comes with a fully customized voice set

NEW skin: Roboscoop

In the dystopic and crime-ridden Omicron dimension, a terminally delicious cop returns to the Awesomenauts as a powerful Gelati cyborg haunted by submerged dreams of long lost chocolate… The Killer Koala’s expand their formidable team once more with the arrival of RoboScoop. Are you ready?

This skin is exclusive for give-aways, so it cannot be bought on Steam. Come visit us at our PAX East booth to get it! Can't make it to PAX? There will be other opportunities to get your hands on this awesome skin, also at some online events!

NEW announcer: Wraithlord Scoop announcer

What do you do when you're an immortal warrior, doomed to pursue your own unending thirst for vengeance? That's right! You get a hobby! Tremble, mortals! For Wraitlord Scoop has picked up the mic and is taking to the airwaves to comment on thine matches! He's not the most cheerful fellow of the bunch, but none of the other Awesomenauts have had the nerve to tell him that.

This is a paid DLC

NEW: Custom Games Settings for everyone

Custom Games Settings are now available for everyone, instead of just to owners of the Starstorm DLC. This includes the special game modes Randomnauts and Team Deathmatch. The reason we are moving this from the DLC to the main game is because we think the current situation is too confusing and limiting. More information here.

Bots and AI modding

-The Vinnie & Spike bot has been removed from the game, as it was not playing well enough and had a significantly lower win rate than any of the other bots.

-Updated bots with new versions made by the community: Ayla, Clunk, Derpl, Leon, Lonestar, Penny, Raelynn, Scoop, Skree and Yuri

-Fixed that a couple of pathing nodes had wrong or duplicate names

Global chat

Menus

-Fixed flickering ‘Open’ button in control schemes menu when using an XBox360 controller

-Fixed that in the lobby there was an invisible ‘configure controls’ button in each party slot that could be clicked

-Static controls (e.g. ‘down+jump’ for ‘drop down’, ‘enter’ for ‘open chat’, etc) can now be switched between their default value and disabled, effectively allowing use of a custom key through the alternate key column.

-Fixed ordering of buttons for controller/keyboard input in the in game menu.

General balance and gameplay

-Humming bird droids health reduced from 550 to 400, this also includes the humming birds from Genji (The last Pieridae Transformae) and Raelynn (T-800 dome)

-Muting a player in-game now also mutes attack/defend/help commands

-Fixed that the items Solar krab burgers and med-i’-can varied in location in the store.

Ayla

These changes are intended to make Ayla’s playstyle more active and more interesting. These changes are not intended to be a nerf or a buff, just to make her play differently.

-Angry drawings no longer adds additional self damage

-Fiery jawbreakers: removed increase in self damage

I suck and need help

Don't get fooled by my playtime because I took a way too long break so it's not really counting,
So for the last week I tried to get back into playing nauts and I pretty much feel like this is a totally different game then when I left. My mains are sudde...

hi, when i try to play awesomenauts, i keep getting an error saying it cant find the file, awesomenautsSteam.exe, i have uninstalled the game and steam and still got the problem, i ran a check on C: where it is installed and its fine, please help

Note: These are just some last changes to try to keep his current healing wave, but we are working on an overhaul of Voltar’s other skills. We feel we tried everything to keep him as close as possible to his original self, but time has come and he needs some major changes to avoid him becoming too strong in coordinated premades and not useless in solo battles.

Tired of playing burst? Ready to play a style that relies on prolonged engagements and outclassing your opponent? Ready to play like a true paladin? Then look no further because paladin style scoop is here for you.
EDIT: I realize that people may think

Here we go guys, awesomenauts, a fairly priced Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) , the game is quite simple, so a couple of coop vs. AI is enough for you to get the mechanics of the game. It has a REALLY memorable soundtrack, and the graphics are quite goodfor a game of it's size. As other MOBAs, it IS NOT pay to win.

PROS

+Really Great Soundtrack, seriously guys!+Pretty cheap, you can get it for sale for, like, 50 cents...+Fun to play with Friends+Up to 3 Local players (Same Machine, using controllers)

CONS

- DLC characters are kinda OP- No dedicated server, the game is hosted by a random player- As there is no Dedicated Server, there is no "Matchmaking" like League of legends, you can be playing for like 150 hours and get a noob that just bought the game on your team-It is really fun to play with friends, but not quite so to play online

This guide will help you learn about the new Sentry character.
Now, I may be not the best user of Sentry, but since he is OP at first sight, let's take a look at his tactics...
(Ik ben Belgisch, voor diegenen die nieuwsgierig zijn.)

With this Nibbs build you will never have to leave the battlefield, or even pick up critters at all!
The main part of this setup and the reason i love using Nibbs is because of her insane health regeneration.
the medicans gives 700 hp regen per upgrade,

Hi all, new player here. Figured I would pick up the game and I'm really enjoying it! Though I'm still playing vs. bots to learn maps, characters and get unlocks. Usually at 60%.
So, back to the question... how do you measure it? Is it just whoever gets ...

This will be a freetalk in which Ronimo lead programmer Joost will discuss what we are planning for the new matchmaking and for the netcode. There will be no big announcements but there will be a lot of interesting thoughts on what is coming!
